About this blog
Welcome to the India Interim 2018 blog, a record of the study/travel experiences of 21 St. Olaf College psychology students during the month of January. This course examines childhood, adolescence, and family life in India today. Topics include:- the status of girls and women in modern India
- the impact of India’s surging population growth, rapid economic change, and globalization on the development of self-concept, relationships, education, well-being/stress, and expectations about adulthood
- how the work being done by Indian psychologists, social
workers, and other helping professionals is influenced by this religiously and
linguistically diverse nation’s unique history and culture
Each week, a different team of students will post at least two updates. We hope you enjoy and learn from our reflections!
